A Cross-Platform Novel Reading Application with Integrated AI-Driven Audiobook Narration Using the Flutter Framework
Abstrak
Mobile reading applications often separate text reading from audiobook playback, limiting multimodal learning. This study proposes a cross-platform mobile application integrating synchronized text–audio interaction within a unified interface. Developed using the Flutter framework, the system incorporates Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and adjustable speed playback with reading progress synchronization. A mixed engineering–UX evaluation was conducted through black-box testing and a user survey involving ten participants. The application achieved an 81.2% satisfaction score, indicating strong user acceptance. The results demonstrate that integrated text–audio systems enhance accessibility and flexibility, with future scalability supported by AI-driven neural text-to-speech narration.
